The resolution came more than four hours after the incident began. It was around 9:55 a.m. when a woman called police after finding a pipe bomb in the basement of her home in the 6100 block of Shisler Street.

Police arrived and evacuated that woman's home along with a number of other homes on the block.

Students at nearby Laura Carnell Elementary School on Devereaux Street were kept indoors for recess as a precaution. Contrary to an earlier report, the school was never officially placed on lockdown.

The Philadelphia Police Bomb Squad arrived on the scene and, using a robot, detonated the device shortly before noon.

As the search continued, police say they found five more pipe bombs. Those devices were removed from the home.
